Oct 22, 2018: #Borisov & #Oumuamua make close approach to each other at 8.5 AU
Jan 21, 2029: They equidistant from the Sun at 68 AU.
From Borisov's point of view, in the last 2 years it was visited by an interstellar object and a solar system.

Be sure to use the direct link. It's higher-res.

Very nice. Interesting reference frame. :)
This animation doesn't seem to show Mars getting very close, yet the stationary-solar-system perspectives seem to suggest they get quite close ie. much less than 1AU.

If you click the link on the stationary one, you can rotate the view and see that it doesn't get very close to Mars.

Got it, Oumuamua's sling shot around the sun sends it "backwards" towards Borisov's approach!

But much lower in -z if viewed in xy, along the ecliptic (I believe 🤔)
